The other day I popped into see Maria Tecce’s show, Viva! at the Assembly Rooms in George Street. A warm intimate setting suffused in the most relaxing woodlet of standard lamps welcomes you in, from where Maria and her musicians whisk you away to Viva Espania! This lady has a presence on stage and an eloquence of phrase that is indescribably rich with a sprinkling of mischief to keep you on your toes! Viva! – the language of love where all horizons explored – are brought together in a fiesta of grand entertainment.
Accompanying Maria are three fine musicians, affectionately called, The Fecundoliers: Malcolm MacFarlane on guitar, Andy Mitchell on double base and Bob Turner on the accordion. The various instrumental blends and the grandeur of Maria’s voice are sublime; from Spanish ballads and boss-a-nova, to jazz and rumba this is a marvelous show! Enjoy this wonderful preview or better still go and see Viva! which is on till the 30th August!
